Introduction to Contingency Management Principles
MERIT at Harbor Care is hosting a series of FREE, LIVE VIRTUAL TRAININGS geared towards methamphetamine use.
This training is an introduction to the evidence-based practice contingency management. Contingency management is the application contingencies that use stimulus control and consequences to change behavior. and is one of the few treatment modalities embraced by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for the treatment of stimulant-use disorder.
The Journal of the American Medical Association has reported that US age-adjusted rates of drug overdose deaths involving methamphetamine increased nearly 5-fold between 2012 and 2018 (a staggering figure in itself); New Hampshire has increased 5,100 percent from 2012 to today.
